Aren't major destructive storms usually named ?

[dweller]

For this Texas storm, might I suggest ‘Costello’ ?

Should make for interesting headlines ...

1. The official name is Winter Storm Uri - which nobody uses

(For some reason, it is used by the Daily Mail)

[BigmanPigman]

2. Was storm "Viola" right after Uri?

[dalton99a]

4. Yes.

3. names are not from the weather service, they are from the corporate for profit weather outfits as

a marketing/promotional gimmick

[dalton99a]

5. +1. Random stupid official-sounding name from the Weather Channel

[GulfCoast66]

6. Winter storms have no official names. After The Weather Channel was sold,

And no longer was the great network or was, they started naming winter storms hoping to get the huge profits Hurricanes generated for them.

It is a corporate gimmick. Most, including myself ignore them. It’s winter for gods sake.

7. This storm should be called, The Republican.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. I was going to post "Abbott", but yours is more to the point.

It took Republicanism to its local conclusion. Total disaster. They developed it and they own it.

Perhaps Texas will learn the word inter-dependence?

9. BETO has shot if he uses infrastructure as his platform.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. Beto gets it and he has a better vision for Texas....

but Texas needs to understand the concepts of inter-dependence and climate change.

11. It's called Winter Stormy Daniels isn't it?
